Check the multiplier setting in the BIOS. The multiplier
on Xeon processors can be changed from its maximum value
to a lower value, and you may need to set it correctly
to get the processor to run at its rated speed. 14x happens
to be the default lowest multiplier for a lot of recent Intel
processors, so turning the multiplier up should help.
